Doug Noll @DouglasNollPeacemaker reveals why explaining, fixing, or trying to be rational during conflict often makes things worse, and the simple skill that helps people calm down so real problem solving can begin.
If you've ever watched a conversation spiral out of control despite your best efforts to stay logical, this episode will change how you think about conflict. Doug Noll, lawyer turned peacemaker and co-founder of the Prison of Peace Project, explains why traditional communication breaks down under pressure and how emotional precision can de-escalate even the most difficult situations.
In This Episode, You'll Discover:
• The one technique that works when emotions run high: identify and name what the other person is feeling so their nervous system can settle, and productive dialogue can begin.
• Why Doug had to spend years unlearning aggressive trial lawyer habits that were effective in court but ineffective in conflict resolution.
• The remarkable story behind the Prison of Peace Project and how Doug and Laurel Koffer trained maximum security inmates to become peacemakers who helped reduce violence inside prisons.
• The power of ripple effect thinking and why true peacemakers focus on creating impact that reaches hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people over time.
• Why conflict itself is not the problem. The real issue is how conflict is handled. When approached constructively, conflict can strengthen relationships and organizations.
• What Doug learned about the limitations of litigation and why alternative dispute resolution often produces better outcomes.
• Real-world proof that empathy and peacemaking skills work, even in some of the most challenging environments imaginable.
• A preview of Doug's upcoming book, Empathy Leadership, which explores how executives and leaders can use these skills in organizations, boardrooms, and teams.
If improving communication, reducing conflict, and becoming a more effective leader matter to you, this conversation is packed with practical insights from someone who has spent decades helping people navigate high-stakes disputes.

How do you turn a passion for bow hunting into a business that builds community and changes lives? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Sam Westfall, an Army veteran and founder of Archery in Motion, who has created a unique space where veterans and civilians alike can experience the challenge, camaraderie, and healing that comes from the discipline of the bow.
"I break every one of those rules," Sam explains about traditional archery tournaments. Instead of rigid competition formats with scorecards and egos, he's built something different—fun shoots that challenge experienced archers while welcoming complete beginners. From steel targets to moving targets to shots beyond 40 yards, Sam's approach prioritizes the experience of archery over the formality of competition.
What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Sam's honest discussion about the entrepreneurial journey. From presenting at a Bunker Labs pitch night where he met Otis, to navigating the challenge of growing both the archery market and his slice of it, Sam shares practical insights about building a business around a lifestyle. Whether discussing the importance of eye placement in archery (and life), the cost of recovering arrows from steel targets, or the philosophy of "no scorecards, no egos," this episode offers lessons for anyone trying to turn their passion into sustainable business.
Whether you're a veteran transitioning to entrepreneurship, an outdoor enthusiast interested in archery, or a business owner trying to balance growth strategies, Sam's journey from competitive archer to community builder provides a roadmap for creating something meaningful that serves others while doing what you love.
More About Sam:
Sam Westfall is an Army veteran, entrepreneur, competitive archer, and veteran community builder who believes archery can change lives. With decades of experience in hunting and shooting sports, he works to create opportunities for veterans and civilians alike to find challenge, camaraderie, and healing through the discipline of the bow.

What drives someone to continue serving long after their military career ends? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Scot Russell, a US Navy veteran who served as a Submarine Sonar Technician aboard the USS Norfolk (SSN-714) from 1990-1996, and who now dedicates his time to Heroes on the Water, an organization that helps veterans and first responders heal through kayak fishing.
"We weren't afraid of anything down there. We all go down, we all come back," Scot explains about submarine culture. That mindset of charging toward the fire—whether it's a literal fire on a submarine or a problem in the business world—has shaped his entire career. From his time listening for threats in the depths of the ocean to his current work in IT leadership, Scot demonstrates how the technical skills and team-focused mentality from submarine service translate directly into civilian success.
What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Scot's candid discussion about the power of listening—both literally as a sonar technician and figuratively in understanding people's needs. He shares how the detailed focus required on a submarine, where one mistake could mean disaster for everyone, taught him to connect with people where they are rather than imposing solutions. Whether discussing the unique title of "Chief of the Boat" (COB), explaining why submariners weren't afraid of death because they had each other, or describing how Heroes on the Water creates community for veterans struggling with isolation, Scot's story illustrates the importance of continuing to serve.
Whether you're a veteran transitioning to civilian work, a leader interested in building tight-knit teams, or someone looking to make a difference in the veteran community, Scot's journey from submarine service to IT leadership to veteran advocacy provides valuable lessons about translating military experience, the power of community, and finding purpose through service.
More About Scot:
Scot is a US Navy Veteran who served as a Submarine Sonar Technician from 1990 to 1996. He was attached to the USS Norfolk (SSN-714) fast attack submarine, where he earned his Submarine Warfare (SS). He served in the Gulf War and in support of NATO in other areas. He received a Meritorious Unit Commendation, Navy Expeditionary Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Service Medal, Navy Arctic Service, and NATO Medal. He comes from a long line of Veterans, his Father is a Vietnam Veteran, and his Grandfather served in the Korean War and WW2.

What happens when your company grows faster than your ability to lead it? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Rajesh Nagjee, a CEO mentor and self-described "business physicist" who helps scale-stage founders solve what he calls the Velocity Crisis—the widening gap between sophisticated business systems and a CEO's capacity to run them effectively.
You built a Ferrari: sophisticated systems, frameworks, and infrastructure. But no one upgraded your inner operating system," Rajesh explains. Drawing on 30 years of experience across 15 countries and inspired by Tim Gallwey's Inner Game principles, he reframes leadership through a powerful equation: Scaling = Systems (Outer Game) minus Interference (Inner Game).
What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Rajesh's unflinching approach to CEO development. From telling fear-based founders "there's no future for you” to advocating for "fixed outcome, variable process" frameworks, he challenges conventional wisdom about control, values, and leadership. His signature CEO Freedom OS framework, including Command Center OS, Delegation OS, Client Magnet OS, and Personal Brand OS, has helped clients like Amex KSA and Nielsen MEA achieve returns exceeding 500%.
Whether you're a founder feeling overwhelmed by growth, a CEO struggling to delegate effectively, or a leader interested in building decision maturity within your team, Rajesh's systems-based approach offers a roadmap for scaling sustainably without becoming the bottleneck.
More About Rajesh:
Rajesh Nagjee is a CEO mentor and business physicist who helps scale-stage founders solve what he calls the Velocity Crisis, the widening gap between a company’s systems and a CEO’s capacity to run them at scale. You built a Ferrari: sophisticated systems, frameworks, and infrastructure. But no one upgraded your inner operating system. As growth accelerates, you become the bottleneck, driving a supercar with sedan instincts. Drawing on 30 years of experience across 15 countries, Rajesh reframes leadership through a systems lens inspired by Tim Gallwey’s Inner Game: Scaling = Systems (Outer Game) minus Interference (Inner Game). His signature framework, CEO Freedom OS, includes four interlocking components: Command Center OS, Delegation OS, Client Magnet OS, and Personal Brand OS. Clients such as Amex KSA, Nielsen MEA, and BNI Middle East have used it to reduce overwhelm, build decision maturity, and scale sustainably with returns exceeding 500%.

What happens when someone gets fired from both L'Oréal and Ernst & Young, then goes on to advise billion-dollar brands like Porsche? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Alex M H Smith, strategy consultant and author of the bestselling "No Bullsh*t Strategy," who's made a career out of cutting through corporate fluff to help businesses find the clear, simple moves that actually work.
"Nobody knew what the hell I was doing because nobody understood strategy," Alex jokes about his time as a Chief Strategy Officer. But that lack of understanding is exactly the problem he's spent his career solving. From discussing why most businesses confuse strategy with "what are we going to do next" to revealing the difference between Blue Ocean Strategy and traditional strategic planning, this conversation explores what it really means to find your unique competitive advantage.
What makes this episode particularly valuable is Alex's candid discussion about the education gap in strategic thinking. He explains why there was no competitive pitch situation in his entire consulting career—because almost nobody else was doing real strategy work at the small business level. Whether you're a founder trying to escape me-too competition, a leader struggling to articulate your strategic direction, or simply someone who's read all the buzzwords but wants to understand what strategy actually means, Alex's plain-spoken approach provides a roadmap for replacing timid, complicated plans with bold, energizing directions.
More About Alex:
Alex M H Smith is a strategy consultant and author of the bestselling No Bullsh*t Strategy, known for cutting through the corporate fluff and helping businesses find the clear, simple moves that actually work. As founder of Basic Arts, Alex works with founders and CEOs to identify the unique value only their business can deliver—and turn it into a competitive advantage that customers can’t ignore.
His plain-spoken approach has attracted a global audience on LinkedIn and YouTube, where he shares practical, often provocative perspectives on escaping the noise of me-too competition. Whether advising billion-dollar brands like Porsche or fast-moving startups, Alex focuses on replacing timid, complicated strategic plans with bold, energizing directions that make sense from the boardroom to the front line.

In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Dr. Tresia Eaves—Air Force veteran, author, adjunct professor, and founder of Variant Enterprises—to explore her remarkable journey from military service to becoming a recognized leader in technology consulting and project management.
"You are only limited by yourself and the limitations you put on yourself," Dr. Eaves explains, sharing how she's managed to build a successful consulting business while teaching the next generation of business leaders and leading IT initiatives at Texas A&M University, Kingsville. From discussing her transition from military software development to civilian project management, to revealing her upcoming work on "The Platinum Rule" (treating others as THEY want to be treated, not as you want to be treated), this conversation offers valuable insights for anyone navigating multiple professional roles.
What makes this episode particularly valuable is Dr. Eaves' practical approach to time management, her emphasis on building supportive teams, and her commitment to giving back through education. Whether you're a veteran transitioning to civilian work, an entrepreneur balancing multiple ventures, or a leader interested in project management excellence, Dr. Eaves' story provides a roadmap for achieving success without putting limitations on yourself.

In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Joe Smarro, a decorated Marine Corps combat veteran, former San Antonio Police officer, and founder of SolutionPoint+, who's on a mission to eradicate suicide among first responders.
"Misery was the catalyst," Joe explains candidly about his transition from police work to entrepreneurship. As one of the original members of the SAPD Mental Health Unit—featured in the Emmy award-winning documentary "Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops"—Joe shares powerful insights about trauma, PTSD, and the surprising overlap between the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and entrepreneurship.
From discussing how "all behavior is communication" to revealing why he turned to business the way others turn to alcohol, this conversation explores the intersection of mental health, leadership, and purpose-driven work. Joe's approach to de-escalating mental health crises and his framework for understanding human behavior offer valuable lessons for anyone leading teams or navigating their own challenges.
Whether you're a first responder, an entrepreneur dealing with the obsessive nature of building a business, or a leader seeking to better understand the people you serve, Joe's journey from battlefield to advocate provides a roadmap for turning trauma into meaningful impact.
More About Joe:
Joe is a decorated combat veteran from the United States Marine Corps. He honorably served in both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. After completing his enlistment, he moved to South Texas, where he joined the San Antonio Police Department (2005). Joe was one of the original members of the SAPD Mental Health Unit and helped grow that unit into a nationally recognized best-practices policing program. Joe served on the SAPD MHU for 11 years.
In 2018, he gave a TEDx San Antonio talk titled: I See You. He has been highlighted in numerous media outlets and documentaries. Most notably, he is one of the main subjects in the Emmy award-winning documentary: Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops. Joe is an alum of the Entrepreneurial Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) at Texas A&M (2016). Once he completed his certification, he founded SolutionPoint+ in 2017 & is the current CEO.
Joe voluntarily left the San Antonio Police Department in 2020 to focus on making changes within the behavioral health and criminal justice systems around the country. His big, hairy, audacious goal is to eradicate suicide among all first responders, starting in law enforcement. When Joe is not speaking, training, consulting, or working on his next book, he will most likely be found on a golf course.

What happens when a personal tragedy becomes the catalyst for helping thousands of families preserve their stories? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Charlie Greene, CEO and Co-Founder of Remento, who turned his experience recording his mom's stories during her cancer diagnosis into a Shark Tank-approved business that's helped over 30,000 families create memory books.
"Writing feels like homework," Charlie's mom told him when he gave her a write-your-own-memoir book. So he tried something different—he just hit record and started asking questions. That simple pivot became the foundation for Remento, a product that creates keepsake memory books that completely write themselves, no writing required.
From discussing the difference between "family history" and "selling a story" to sharing insights about resilience research in children, this conversation explores the art and science of storytelling. Charlie reveals what he learned about helping people who think "I don't know why my story matters" discover that their experiences are worth preserving—and how reframing it as a gift for your kids rather than your own legacy changes everything.
Whether you're an entrepreneur building something deeply personal, a leader interested in the power of storytelling, or someone who wants to preserve family memories before it's too late, Charlie's journey from that first recording with his mom to appearing on Shark Tank offers valuable lessons about building businesses that truly matter.

How do you scale fast without letting the business consume your life? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Josh Davis—a 5x founder, turnaround expert, and one of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40—who built one of the country’s fastest-growing logistics companies and sold it to a major North American transportation firm just three years after launch.
Josh gets real about the tradeoffs of rapid growth. Early on, “revenue will solve most problems” was the mantra—but he also shares what he’d do differently to avoid becoming the bottleneck, protect family time, and build teams that decide and act without him. He explains why exit planning isn’t just “sell the company,” how to think about life after a deal (“the PE email shuts off—and then what?”), And why true success is a business that serves your life.
You’ll learn:
-How to scale underperforming companies with clarity and operational excellence
-Practical ways to get out of the weeds and stop being the bottleneck
-Preparing for exit while keeping options open (you don’t have to sell to “exit”)
-People-first leadership that drives performance and culture
If you’re growing, turning around, or prepping a company for exit, this is a playbook you can actually use.
More About Josh:
Josh Davis is a 5x founder, business acquirer, and turnaround expert with multiple exits—including to a U.S. private equity–backed firm. Known for scaling underperforming companies fast, Josh blends grit, faith, and operational excellence to help founders grow with clarity and purpose. As Co-Founder and CEO, he built one of Canada’s fastest-growing logistics startups—scaling it from the ground up before it was acquired by one of North America’s largest transportation companies just three years after launch. Today, he runs JL Davis Enterprises alongside his wife Loretta, acquiring businesses and consulting founders on how to scale, build high-performance teams, and prepare for exit. Grounded in faith and family values, Josh brings a no-fluff, people-first approach to business. He’s been named one of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40—and believes true success means building a business that serves your life, not the other way around.

"Software does not solve any problem at all," Jason explains, cutting through the tech hype. "It's the people that are understanding how to use the software." This refreshing perspective sets the tone for a conversation that dives deep into the real challenges businesses face when trying to connect marketing efforts with sales results.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is Jason's approach to CRM implementation. Rather than forcing businesses to change their processes to fit a system, he emphasizes understanding their current workflow first: "We're not trying to change the way you do things and make you do something different. We're just trying to improve what you're doing." Whether you're struggling with marketing attribution, sales-marketing alignment, or simply want to get more value from your CRM investment, this conversation offers a refreshingly human-centered approach to technology.

Ever wondered what happens when you take the leadership lessons from flying military helicopters and apply them to corporate America? In this conversation with Carl Sharperson Jr., author of "Sharp Leadership" and former Marine Corps pilot, Cam and Otis explore the fascinating transition from military service to business leadership.
"The plant ran better with us not being there than it did when we were there," Carl reveals, sharing a powerful story about what happened when all the managers went on a two-day retreat. This counterintuitive insight highlights one of Carl's core leadership principles: when you truly empower your people with the right tools and resources, they'll often exceed your expectations.
What makes this episode particularly valuable is Carl's candid reflection on his own leadership journey. "My team leader pulled me aside one day and said, 'Carl, you're micromanaging, you don't need to do that,'" he shares, explaining how this direct feedback helped him "flip the script" and transform his approach. From discussing the delicate balance of allowing people to fail without catastrophic consequences to exploring how he applied leadership principles as an entrepreneur, Carl offers practical wisdom drawn from his unique experience across military, corporate, and entrepreneurial settings.
Whether you're transitioning from one leadership context to another or simply looking to elevate your team from mediocrity to excellence, Carl's insights on building relationships and taking care of your people provide a roadmap for authentic, effective leadership.

In this conversation with Michele McManamon, CEO and Co-Founder of Operation New Uniform, Cam and Otis explore how a single scholarship offer evolved into a national movement helping veterans build meaningful civilian careers.

From expanding veterans’ career perspectives to sharing stories of transformation, Michele offers valuable insights into the challenges of transition and the power of mindset.

Ever wondered why some businesses successfully scale while others get stuck in startup mode? In this conversation with Courtney De Ronde, CEO of Forge Financial and creator of the Simple ScaleUp System™, Cam and Otis explore the delicate balance between innovation and process that growing organizations must navigate.

From discussing the COLBY assessment that measures cognitive strengths to explaining why some leaders struggle with implementing processes, this episode offers practical wisdom about scaling with intention.

Ever been stood up for a meeting that someone else requested? In this candid family episode, Cam and Otis get real about a frustration many professionals face but few discuss openly: the culture of no-shows and non-commitments in business.
"If you don't want to do something, then say it. If it's not a priority, then let us know," Otis states firmly, addressing the unnamed "no-showers" who've recently wasted their time. This father-son conversation dives into the psychology behind why people make commitments they don't intend to keep and the telltale signs that someone isn't being straightforward about their intentions.
What makes this episode particularly valuable is their discussion about authentic communication in professional settings. When someone says, "this is not sales," Otis immediately thinks, "it's sales"—highlighting how transparency builds trust while manipulation erodes it. They even explore what genuine outreach looks like, noting how rare it is to receive a simple, honest invitation: "I'd love to buy you a cup of coffee."
Whether you're building a business, managing relationships, or just trying to navigate professional courtesy in today's world, this unfiltered conversation offers a refreshing perspective on the value of saying what you mean and meaning what you say.

Ever wondered if compassion and decisive leadership can coexist? In this powerful conversation with Cal Riley, combat veteran, EOS Implementer, and author of "Entrepreneurial Compassion," Cam and Otis explore what it really means to lead with both strength and heart.
"It's not compassionate to hold on to somebody if they're not a good fit," Cal explains, challenging the common misconception that compassionate leadership means avoiding tough decisions. "You're doing them a disservice. You're in pain. They're in pain... The whole team sees it."
From discussing how EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) helps leaders understand that "not everybody is good at everything" to sharing his deeply personal mission to create a million compassionate leaders and prevent 100,000 suicides, Cal offers a refreshing perspective on leadership that balances accountability with genuine care.
Whether you're a business owner struggling with difficult personnel decisions or a leader looking to create a healthier company culture, Cal's insights on entrepreneurial compassion provide a roadmap for leading differently. Plus, all proceeds from his book go to Stop Soldier Suicide—making this conversation not just informative, but potentially life-saving.

Ever tried to escape work by picking up a hobby, only to discover it teaches you everything about your profession? In this fascinating conversation with Philip Atkinson, author of "BeeWise: 12 Leadership Lessons from Inside a Busy Hive," Cam and Otis explore how the complex world of beekeeping offers surprising insights into organizational leadership.
"I was looking in my private life to start a new hobby to do nothing to do with work," Philip explains about his beekeeping journey. "And it was all about complex organizations and decision making and communication and what the bees do. And of course, bang, it hit me. Beekeeping is a metaphor for complex life in working organizations today."
From seasonal cycles that mirror business planning to colony division that reflects organizational scaling, Philip draws powerful parallels between the busy hive and today's workplace. "The bees have a natural survival instinct, and they need to adapt and grow," he shares, explaining how this translates to leadership challenges. "As a single leader, I can't do everything. I actually need to create an environment to scale things by trusting other people to be great."
Whether you're fascinated by nature, looking for fresh leadership perspectives, or simply curious about how a hobby can transform into a life's purpose, this conversation offers rich insights into what we can learn from these remarkable creatures—or, as Philip would say, Apis Melifera.
More About Philip:
Philip Atkinson is a leadership coach, organizational transformation expert, and founder of Hive-Logic. With leadership roles at Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, and Publicis, Philip has worked with some of the world’s largest organizations to build stronger teams and healthier cultures. Based near the Swiss border in France, he supports senior leaders across Europe and beyond through coaching, facilitation, and strategy. His warm, thought-provoking communication style has landed him features in Forbes, Management Today, CEO World, and BBC TV and radio. Philip is also a beekeeper. In his book Bee Wise: 12 Leadership Lessons from a Busy Beehive, he draws powerful insights from the hidden workings of the hive. The book explores decision-making, inclusion, communication, and purpose with contributions from global thought leaders at EY, L’Oréal, and more. All profits support Bees for Development, a charity helping families build sustainable livelihoods through beekeeping.

Ever wondered what happens when you take high-achieving entrepreneurs away from their screens and put them on a fishing boat in British Columbia? In this conversation with Sam Vandervalk, founder of ARC Trips, Cam and Otis explore how adventure-based experiences can transform leadership and purpose.
"I love helping other people," Sam shares, explaining his transition from running a successful fishing guide business to creating mastermind retreats. "It's seeing people really come alive and attach to their mission." This genuine passion for facilitating transformation is evident throughout the conversation as Sam describes how being in a completely new environment helps take people "outside of their normal thought pattern" and opens up creativity.
What makes this episode particularly compelling is Sam's insight into the competitive edge of successful guides: "There's a competitive edge, but that competitive edge rests in helping others succeed." This philosophy extends beyond fishing into his approach to leadership development, where he helps entrepreneurs align with their core mission.
Whether you're feeling stuck in your business, searching for deeper purpose, or simply curious about how nature-based experiences can spark transformation, Sam's invitation to "bring you to a magical place and set something inside of you that will change the course of your life" offers an intriguing alternative to traditional business development.
More About Sam:
Sam Vandervalk is the founder of ARC Trips, a premier mastermind retreat experience for high-achieving entrepreneurs and leaders seeking purpose beyond success. After building one of British Columbia’s top sport fishing businesses and attending masterminds, Sam realized that financial success alone wasn’t enough—true fulfillment comes from aligning achievement with deeper meaning. This inspired him to create immersive, adventure-based retreats where leaders step away from the daily grind, engage in transformative conversations, and build powerful connections in breathtaking natural settings.
Through ARC Mastermind Retreats, Sam blends world-class fishing adventures with curated discussions that foster clarity, personal growth, and impact. His retreats attract purpose-driven individuals ready to shift from chasing more to living fully. With a passion for experiential learning and authentic relationships, Sam creates spaces where leaders reconnect with their vision, embrace new perspectives, and build a legacy that extends beyond business.

Ever wondered why some sales conversations feel manipulative while others feel like genuine problem-solving? In this conversation with Hamish Knox, founder of Sandler Calgary, Cam and Otis explore the fascinating intersection of journalism, communication, and sales leadership.
"Sales is communication and communication is sales," Hamish explains, revealing how his background in journalism shaped his approach to sales conversations. From discussing why it often takes three or more questions to get to the truth to exploring how to make buyers feel in control while still managing the conversation, this episode offers refreshing insights for anyone who communicates for a living (which is everyone).
What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Hamish's perspective on successful outcomes. "A successful outcome does not mean we get the business all the time," he points out, sharing how sometimes the best result is connecting a prospect with someone else who's a better fit—a move that actually raises your credibility and leads to more referrals in the long run.
Whether you're leading a sales team, growing a business, or just trying to communicate more effectively, Hamish's practical wisdom about creating interactions where everyone feels good about the outcome offers a refreshing alternative to traditional sales approaches.
Hamish Knox - Founder, Sandler in Calgary
Hamish Knox, a member of the global Sandler network, helps private organizations in Southern Alberta build scalable, consistent sales engines and motivated teams by driving accountability around proven systems and processes.

He is the first Canadian trainer to receive Sandler’s highest honor, the David H.

Ever wondered what an auctioneering school could teach you about leadership communication? In this conversation with Dia Bondi, communications catalyst and author of "Ask Like an Auctioneer," Cam and Otis explore the fascinating connection between the rapid-fire world of auctions and the strategic art of asking for what you want.
"You're basically learning to sell something in a minute and a half," Dia explains about her auctioneering training, revealing how this condensed transaction moment contains powerful lessons for business leaders. From the illusion of fast-talking (it's actually about breath manipulation) to the courage required to "show up big in big moments," Dia breaks down what makes truly clutch communicators effective.
What makes this episode especially compelling is Dia's formula for making strategic asks. She outlines a four-part approach that moves beyond simply stating what you want to creating a compelling case that removes blockers and drives results. As she puts it, the best communicators "know who to ask, when to ask it, and what to ask for. And they're not low-balling themselves ever."
Whether you're looking to improve your leadership communication, make more effective requests, or simply understand the psychology behind powerful asking, this conversation offers practical wisdom that might just have you stepping into your own "zone of freaking out" (ZOFO) – where the real growth happens.

Ever had someone thank you for your marketing emails? In this conversation with Ely Delaney, "The People Whisperer" and creator of The Follow-Up Rockstar System, Cam and Otis explore the counterintuitive approach to follow-up that actually builds relationships instead of burning them.
"I'm an introvert," Ely reveals, surprising many who know him as a dynamic speaker and networking expert. "If I had my druthers, I'd be sitting at home hanging out with the dog all day long."

From sharing his favorite book (The Go-Giver by Bob Berg) to explaining how he built a web design agency entirely through networking, Ely breaks down his Ultimate Follow-Up System—a process designed to nurture relationships through valuable content rather than pushy sales tactics. He even shares a recent success story where a skeptical client implemented his system and, within two weeks, had prospects thanking her for the content she was sending.
Whether you're an introvert dreading your next networking event or a business owner looking to improve your follow-up strategy, this episode offers practical wisdom about building what Ely calls "a bank account with your audience"—one valuable interaction at a time.

In this conversation with Deana Brown Mitchell, award-winning entrepreneur and three-decade event professional, Cam and Otis explore the fascinating intersection of architecture, event planning, and team leadership.
"It was a creative challenge, kind of like architecture to me," Deana explains, revealing how her unconventional background prepared her for building a successful event company that served Fortune 100-500 clients.

What makes this episode especially compelling is Deana's insight into controlling outcomes when you're dependent on 15 different vendors.

Whether you're in the event industry, building a team that needs to deliver consistent results, or just fascinated by resilient entrepreneurs, Deana's story offers practical wisdom about turning creative vision into reliable execution.

Ever wondered why it's so hard to get business leaders interested in team wellness? In this conversation with Alex Cartmill, operator of Vibrant Yoga, Cam and Otis explore the fascinating intersection of wellness and business leadership.
"If the leader doesn't have a personal issue, they're likely not going to recognize an issue in the team," Alex explains, revealing one of the biggest challenges in bringing yoga and wellness practices into corporate environments. From discussing how to "open the door" with skeptical executives to exploring what happens when team members discover their purpose (and sometimes leave), this episode offers rare insights into the human side of business wellness.
The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Otis suggests "Hard Rock Yoga" as a potential way to break through to resistant clients—and Alex doesn't immediately dismiss the idea. There's a genuine exploration of how wellness practices need to meet people where they are, not where wellness professionals wish they would be.
Whether you're a business leader curious about team wellness or a wellness professional trying to break into the corporate world, this episode offers practical wisdom about building bridges between these often-disconnected domains.
More About Alex:
Alex has been an entrepreneur his entire life and now runs a business as an operator for other growing organizations -- through both hands-on & advisory work. Alex is currently helping manage Vibrant Yoga, a corporate & private wellness company based out of Chicago. After a short stint as a Personal Trainer, Alex began managing a business development program and mentorship for health professionals, building a team of more than 10 and taking in over 6,000 students during his 4-year stint there. Since then, Alex has been managing businesses and projects for a variety of remote organizations, from General Manager of Personal Trainer certification body Fitness Mentors, to Director of Operations of marketing consultancy Forget The Funnel, to continuously growing and adapting his own business as an operator. Alex resides in Portland, OR, with his furry companion, Charlie.

Ever worked with a leader who treated everything as "urgent" until nothing felt important anymore? In this conversation with Drew Lints, founder of Revflow Growth Partners, Cam and Otis explore the human side of business systems and how the right tools can actually help leaders care for their people better.
"At the end of the day, we want to accomplish the thing that I was so bad at early on—keeping track of everyone, making sure that they're cared for," Drew explains, revealing how his own leadership journey shaped his approach to CRM and business systems.
From discussing the fine line between genuine urgency and manufactured pressure to exploring alternatives to expensive enterprise solutions like Salesforce and HubSpot, this episode offers practical insights for leaders looking to grow without losing the human connection. Drew shares how simple tools—even just an Excel spreadsheet with names and personal details—can transform how leaders engage with their teams and clients.
Whether you're scaling a business, leading a team, or just trying to bring more intentionality to your work, Drew's approach to "efficiency creates clarity, and clarity unlocks growth" offers a refreshing perspective on how technology can enhance rather than replace human connection.
More About Drew:
I help organizations unlock growth by building smarter systems, clearer strategies, and more efficient workflows. As Founder & CEO of Revflow Growth Partners, I bring over 25 years of experience in coaching, consulting, and revenue leadership.
My journey began in 1999, leading people, building teams, and driving mission-focused growth. Those years shaped my passion for aligning vision with strategy and creating systems that help people flourish.
In 2023, I launched Revflow to scale that mission. Today, we design CRMs, automations, and growth systems that eliminate waste, create clarity, and drive lasting results. I also provide fractional CRO services, helping companies accelerate revenue and scale without the cost of a full-time executive.
At my core, I believe efficiency creates clarity, and clarity unlocks growth.

Whether you're hitting a ceiling in your business or helping others break through theirs, this episode offers insights into how analytical thinking, contingency planning, and the right mindset can create quantum leaps in business performance.

Ever had that moment where you knew you had to leap or you'd never do it? For Hannah Stuart, co-owner of Renew Coffee, that moment came after a farmer's market when she told her husband, "If we don't spend this money on an espresso machine, we're never going to do this."
In this conversation with Cam and Otis, Hannah shares the journey of building a mobile coffee business that now serves luxury events nationwide. From turning down a sketchy "I'm leaving town, need to flip this" coffee cart offer to figuring out they can serve 80 drinks per hour at high-end events, her story is full of practical insights about starting small and scaling with intention.
What makes this episode especially compelling is Hannah's perspective on purpose. "What we leave behind in this life is our business and our kids," she reflects, sharing how Renew Coffee became not just about serving great espresso but creating the best jobs for people who might be struggling with addiction or other challenges.
Whether you're thinking about starting a business, wondering how to infuse purpose into your work, or just curious about what goes into those fancy coffee setups at events, Hannah's blend of practical business sense and heartfelt mission offers something genuinely refreshing.
More About Hannah:
I’m the co-owner of Renew Coffee, a handcrafted espresso bar and hospitality brand serving luxury events, corporate gatherings, and premium spaces nationwide.
What began as a passion project with my husband has grown into a thriving business known for intentional service, house-made syrups, and experiences that feel personal, not transactional. From weddings and leadership retreats to wellness weekends and boutique venues, we bring warmth, quality, and presence to every event we serve.
Today, we’re expanding into luxury resorts, residences, and corporate campuses worldwide, offering fully turnkey espresso bar activations and permanent espresso bar installations that elevate the guest experience without adding operational burden to your team.
My background in business development fuels my commitment to creating meaningful connections and hospitality moments that leave a lasting impression.

Ever wondered what happens in that crucial moment between a life-changing experience and actually changing your life? In this powerful conversation with Tino Dietrich, founder of The Dietrich Institute, Cam and Otis explore the often-glossed-over transition from crisis to purpose.
"I did get that second chance, and that's what I'm doing now," Tino shares, reflecting on his near-death experience with COVID that transformed his perspective on life and business. But unlike many inspirational stories that skip straight to the triumph, this conversation dives into the messy middle—that space between trauma and transformation where the real work happens.
From his entrepreneurial roots, inspired by his mother (who went from selling curtains to becoming one of the most influential people in Germany's steel industry) to his current mission coaching high-achievers, Tino offers refreshingly honest insights about personal growth. He even addresses the challenge of working with clients who resist opening up, acknowledging that while everyone is unique, the simple truths remain powerful guides.
Whether you're navigating your own life transition or helping others through theirs, this episode offers both the inspiration and the practical wisdom to move forward with purpose. Plus, Otis suggests a potential connection with previous guest Craig Andrews, who had a remarkably similar COVID experience, proving that sometimes the most powerful healing comes from knowing you're not alone.
More About Tino:
Tino Dietrich is a visionary entrepreneur, certified Mindvalley coach, and founder of The Dietrich Institute, a premier coaching and consulting organization dedicated to empowering high-achieving individuals and couples to thrive in their personal and professional lives. With over 30 years of leadership experience in global business, Tino brings unparalleled expertise and empathy to his work, helping clients master personal growth, build meaningful relationships, and create lasting legacies. A former collegiate golfer at the University College of Syracuse, Tino draws on his discipline and resilience to inspire others to overcome
challenges with authenticity and purpose. His upcoming book, a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, delves into themes of resilience, legacy, and living with intention, offering readers profound insights into navigating life’s complexities. Tino’s work continues to transform lives, positioning him as a sought-after coach, mentor, and thought leader in personal development and relationship dynamics.

"You have to articulate what the expectations are," Matt explains, "but then the key is you have to properly equip your people to be able to live up to them." It's this combination that's often missing in business leadership.
From the fascinating distinction between high performance (unsustainable pace) and optimal performance (sustainable excellence) to the provocative question of whether we're forcing growth on people who don't need it, this conversation challenges conventional wisdom about team development. Matt even shares the four levels of performance that transform how leaders view their teams: lazy, unaware, high potential, and the elusive optimal performance.
Whether you're leading a team that's struggling with clarity or you're wondering if your own "high performance" might be burning you out, Matt's practical insights offer a refreshing alternative to the "microwave theory" of leadership development.

Ever wondered why traditional recruiters seem more interested in their commission than in finding you the right person? Ryan Hogan did too—and it bugged him enough to build an entirely different model.
In this conversation with Cam and Otis, the Navy Reservist and serial entrepreneur shares how scaling Hunt A Killer to a $205M phenomenon exposed him to the broken incentives plaguing the recruiting industry. "I'm an anti-recruiter recruiter all day long," Ryan admits with a laugh, explaining why the commission-based headhunter approach just doesn't work for growing businesses.
From the controversial reality that "your next best hire is probably already employed" to the magic of turning recruiting into a true sales and marketing process, Ryan breaks down why finding great talent is actually a lot like hunting. He shares the exact process his team uses to create marketing materials for jobs that actually attract the right people—not just the available ones.
Whether you're struggling to find talent for your growing business or just curious about a better approach to building teams, Ryan's flat-fee, embedded recruiting model offers a refreshing alternative to the status quo. Plus, he explains why understanding a candidate's drivers is the key to convincing them to even consider your opportunity.
More About Ryan:
Ryan Hogan is a Navy Reservist, serial entrepreneur, and the co-founder and CEO of Talent Harbor, a recruiting-as-a-service company helping growth businesses find world-class talent—without the broken incentives of traditional headhunters. After scaling Hunt A Killer from an idea to a $205M global phenomenon, Ryan experienced firsthand how ridiculous the recruiting industry was. That challenge became his next mission. With a deep belief that recruiting needs to be a core competency for all businesses—not an afterthought – Ryan built Talent Harbor to serve growing B2B businesses, especially those running on EOS. His team replaces antiquated commission-driven models with a flat-fee, embedded recruiting service focused on fit, process, and long-term results. Ryan is on a mission to change how business leaders think about hiring—and to challenge the outdated models that no longer
serve today’s workforce or workplace.

Ever wondered why that job you applied for needed FIVE interviews? Tracy Noel has some thoughts about that—and they might surprise you.
In this conversation with Cam and Otis, the Marine Corps veteran and founder of Aion Worldwide pulls back the curtain on what's happening in recruiting today. "The value is in the human," Tracy explains, challenging the transactional approach many companies take to hiring.
From balancing the needs of employers against the experience of candidates to making companies sign an ethics portfolio before she will work with them, Tracy's approach to recruiting is refreshingly relationship-driven. She even shares the inside scoop on why some hiring processes drag on forever (hint: it's not always about finding the perfect candidate).
Whether you're looking to hire better people or hoping to get hired yourself, this episode offers rare insights into how the best matches happen when recruiters hold both sides accountable. Plus, Otis can't help but compare modern hiring processes to Special Forces selection—and he might not be wrong.
More About Tracy:
Tracy Noel is a Marine Corps veteran and the founder of Aion Worldwide, a recruiting firm built on the belief that the right hire can change everything. With a background that spans military service, international advocacy, and public sector leadership, Tracy brings a unique blend of discipline, strategic foresight, and heart to the world of talent acquisition.
Through Aion, she partners with companies in the energy, tech, and medical sectors to make high-impact hires that drive real results. Her approach focuses on more than just filling roles —it's about placing people who will increase revenue, protect company culture, and fuel long-term growth. She’s worked with founders making their first hire and organizations restructuring teams at scale, always with the same mission: hire with intention, not desperation.
Looking ahead, Tracy is focused on scaling Aion’s impact globally, expanding veteran-led hiring initiatives, and helping more companies move away from transactional hiring models toward transformational leadership. Her work is a powerful reminder that the right person, hired at the right time, can completely shift the future of a business.

Ever wondered what it's like to work with a coach who refuses to sugarcoat the truth? In this episode, we sit down with Paul Glover, the self-proclaimed "No B.S. Executive Leadership Coach" who's built his practice on brutal honesty and genuine results.
"I'm not going to try to convince you," Paul tells us about his approach to potential clients. "If what we've done up to this point doesn't convince you, then you need to find somebody else." It's this refreshing directness that sets the tone for our entire conversation about what real leadership development looks like.
From discussing why empathy is a skill set that can be learned to exploring why human psychology hasn't changed since Marcus Aurelius was complaining about the Roman Senate (Camden's words: "complaining about going to work because the people in the Senate are assholes"), Paul shares insights from his unique journey as an ex-white-collar felon and "recovering" federal trial lawyer.
Whether you're looking for a leadership coach or trying to become a better leader yourself, Paul's perspective on the exchange of energy in coaching relationships and why critical thinking is a learnable skill will challenge you to rethink what growth requires. Just don't expect him to be "soft and cuddly" about it.
More About Paul:
About Me: I'm the No B.S. Executive Leadership Coach, Challenging the Best to Be Better in organizations with revenue up to one billion dollars. I’m also an ex- white-collar felon, a "recovering” federal trial lawyer, a TEDx speaker, an approved Vistage and YPO Speaker on leadership in the Post-Pandemic work environment, the author of WorkQuake™: Making the Seismic Shift to a Knowledge Economy, a Forbes contributor, a Starbucks addict, and a Chicago Bears fanatic.

Have you ever noticed how some people always seem to be in crisis mode, while others handle the same situations with ease? In this impromptu family episode (complete with the authentic soundtrack of roofers overhead), Cam and Otis dive into what might be behind this difference.
"If that 10-year-old had been told every day for his entire life that he sucks, he could never have that belief to go do something beyond what he should be able to do," Otis reflects, as they explore how our past shapes our response to challenges.
From missed flights to Medal of Honor winners, father and son unpack the concept of locus of control—that invisible force determining whether you see yourself as the driver of your life or just a passenger along for the ride. Plus, they share practical wisdom about how preparation eliminates most of the "emergencies" we create for ourselves.
Whether you're dealing with your crisis patterns or trying to understand why some team members thrive under pressure while others crumble, this conversation offers both psychological insight and practical tips for building resilience. And yes, we kept the roof thumping in because real conversations happen in imperfect settings.

Ever wondered why it's so hard to get people to care about cybersecurity before disaster strikes? Joshua Wathen has a theory—and it might sound familiar to anyone who's tried to convince someone to buy insurance.
In this conversation with Cam and Otis (plus a surprise appearance from thunder rolling in the Houston sky), Joshua shares his journey from Special Forces Weapons Sergeant to COO of Triad Info Sec. "We are of service to the people that are our customers, to each other, to our families," he explains, revealing the core value that drives his approach to both team building and cybersecurity.
From his practical approach to hiring (where he roots out BS during interviews) to his spot-on comparison between cybersecurity and gun ownership ("if you don't understand it, you're not likely to invest in it until you get mugged"), Joshua offers refreshingly straightforward insights about protection in the digital age.
Whether you're building a team, running a business, or just trying to figure out if your company needs better digital security, Joshua's blend of military precision and entrepreneurial wisdom offers a perspective you won't want to miss.
More About Josh:
I am Joshua Wathen, the Chief Operations Officer of Triad Info Sec, the owner of Dux Fortis Consulting and a member of the Board of Advisors for Owners In Honor. I have chosen to help build these entities because they are Veteran Owned and help others with service and security, both physically and digitally. My work is not a necessity at this point in my life. It is a calling. I am a US Army veteran and hold qualifications as a Special Forces Weapons Sergeant, a Special Operations Combat Medic, and an Airborne Infantryman. In that time, I learned that shiny medals are awarded for dark days done well, that people are more important than equipment, and most importantly, that your values are what make you who you are. Since leaving the military, I have become a serial entrepreneur, a husband, and a father. I have built several businesses in different industries and helped grow many different veteran service organizations ranging from PTSD treatment to business development for transitioning veterans. My value to any organization is that I am a team builder and a super connector. There is nothing more powerful than putting driven, capable, and like-minded people in a room with a problem to solve.

In this conversation with Cam and Otis, Stephen shares his journey from Air Force leadership to founding a consultancy that's deliberately challenging the "always-on" culture of modern business. "They actually treated people really well and understood that people had a life outside of work," he reflects about a former employer that got it right.
From battling his own "shiny object syndrome" to making tough calls about which opportunities to pursue, Stephen offers a refreshingly honest look at the early stages of building a purpose-driven business. Plus, Otis shares a laugh-out-loud story about military decision matrices that anyone who's ever had their carefully-crafted presentation ignored by the boss will relate to.
Whether you're scaling a business, leading a team, or just trying to find work that respects your whole life, Stephen's practical approach to building a company that values both results and people will leave you with actionable insights.
More About Stephen:

Ever wondered what happens when you create a space for people to slow down and connect? Joey Mac Dizon did exactly that with The Mobile Cigar Lounge, and the results have been magical.
In this conversation with Cam and Otis, Joey shares his journey from initial concept to creating a business that brings people together during life's most meaningful moments. "Don't rush a cigar.

From gender reveals (no, not with colored smoke coming from cigars!) to celebrations of life, Joey has seen how creating the right atmosphere transforms ordinary gatherings into memorable experiences. His military background taught him that being just one degree off can lead you astray—a lesson that has served him well in business and life.

More About Sean:
I’ve now been in the tech world for nearly 20 years. In 2015, I left my "real job" in IT and took the leap into entrepreneurship by starting a business selling products on Amazon. The business grew quickly, thrived for about a year and a half, and then—bam—it tanked. But even that failure taught me valuable lessons and marked my first true entrepreneurial experience. These days, I’m focused on my latest venture with my business partner, Dana Morrison. Together, we co-founded Zero2Income, where we help people go from zero to income with simple, actionable tools and support. Since launching in August 2023, we’ve been piecing together everything needed to get a business off the ground—and we’re excited about the journey ahead.

Storrs, Connecticut, U.S.A. January 2025 – News release from author Cynthia Herbert-Bruschi Adams sharing the gripping description of murders and other crimes committed by honors student Peter Manfredonia, who spent Memorial Day Weekend, 2020, in a frenzy.

While escaping, Manfredonia holds a third Willington man hostage in his own home. But two days later, the terror continues as Manfredonia robs and murders a childhood friend in Derby and kidnaps his girlfriend. The nightmare goes further as he is pursued across state lines for six days. The author interviews survivors and the perpetrator. The story is told with vivid, and at times horrifying, descriptions.

More About Eileen:
An international pilot, Eileen is also the Lead Author for USAFA Women Writers and a debut author of her own memoir who knows the transformative power of storytelling. Eileen was the first woman to serve as an Advance Agent to the President of the United States. A decorated US Air Force pilot, she flew high-performance jets, trained combat pilots and instructors to evade being missile-locked on combat missions, airlifted humanitarian relief to war-torn regions, resupplied radar sites on dirt strips in the Amazon jungles, cut the ribbon opening the Military Women’s Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, commanded a squadron, and crumbled barriers to women serving their country. Following her retirement from the Air Force, Eileen joined a Fortune 500® before founding and leading her own firm. She eventually divested it to focus all of her “Tenacious She-Warrior” life energies on surviving breast cancer.
Remaining a sought-after consultant, she was brought into the C-suite of a Texas firm experiencing scaling challenges. While being treated and healing, she built and successfully executed Operation High Flight, her personal campaign to return to the flight deck. As she rejoined life, she was an active member of the North Texas General Aviation community, flight instructed, taught as a college adjunct, flew volunteer Angel Flight missions, and lent her considerable expertise to the organizing and executing of airlift relief operations to South Texas and Florida following Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. She subsequently returned to Virginia to fly Boeing 767s for a global charter enterprise, and now flies corporate executive aircraft. The daughter of an international airline pilot, Eileen grew up immersed in the cultures of our world across three continents, from British primary education and picnicking in the Hindu Kush; to sharing fish with Bedouins, tea with Kazakh merchants, and shopping in the sooqs of Jeddah; to thwarting the nuns while attending boarding school in Italy. She holds an undergraduate degree from the US Air Force Academy and two post-graduate degrees.
All that said, she is happiest when lost amidst the giggles of her granddaughters, or cloud-chasing without spilling passenger drinks. When she’s not at 40,000 feet in her front-row seat to the Universe, she makes her home in the Northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

In this episode of 10x Your Team with Cam & Otis, Patrick Mate of Patriot Jean Co shares his entrepreneurial journey of rebuilding an American-made denim supply chain. Patrick discusses the challenges and triumphs of sourcing materials domestically in a post-COVID world, emphasizing the importance of persistence and relationship-building in the face of countless rejections. The conversation delves into the complexities of reconnecting fragmented supply chains, the value of American manufacturing, and the unexpected opportunities that arise from taking bold entrepreneurial risks. Whether you're an aspiring business owner or a seasoned leader, this episode offers valuable insights on resilience, innovation, and the power of community in building a successful enterprise.
More About Patrick:
In late 2022, Patrick founded Patriot Jean Co, a testament to his belief in American craftsmanship and quality. With a spark of curiosity, he ventured to the heart of North Carolina's historical denim industry, immersing himself in a Denim 101 class. Not only did he gain deep insights into the craft of jean making and forging deep contacts in the industry, but he also saw the potential to rejuvenate the proud legacy of American denim.
Harnessing his background in supply chain and program management, Patrick established an exclusive partnership in the Fashion District of L.A., focusing on the design and quality of the jeans. Going a step further, he orchestrated a supply chain team dedicated to sourcing every material from within the USA. From denim to zippers and even the labels and tags, Patrick ensured that Patriot Jean Co's commitment to American-made products remained unwavering, even if it meant restarting dormant factory lines and absorbing additional costs.
The statistics are startling. Every year, 450 million pairs of jeans are sold in the USA, but most are produced in countries like China, Turkey, Pakistan, and Vietnam. By 2017, all major denim jeans brands had offshored their production processes. Today, the average pair of jeans embarks on a 17,000-mile journey before finding a home with a US consumer. Patriot Jean Co is here to change that narrative.
By choosing us, you're not only investing in a superior pair of jeans but also contributing to bringing jobs back to the USA. Beyond jeans, our commitment to American-made products extends to everything we offer, including our range of trucker hats, t-shirts, and more.
Join us in celebrating and reviving the spirit of American craftsmanship. Patriot Jean Co - where quality meets pride.

Among his ventures, AmericanVeteranBusiness.com highlighting Veteran business owners stands out, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and a proprietary social media platform.
Dave has continued volunteerism by serving for 4 years as the Director of the Northwest Region of the US Army Ranger Association covering Montana to Alaska. Over the past seven years, he has served as the Vice President of the Tacoma Events Commission, producing large-scale events for the people of Washington State. Finally, he is an ongoing volunteer with the National Alliance to End Veteran Suicide.
Maestas's influence extends far beyond his business accomplishments. With an audience of 300,000 across social media groups and pages, he has provided free marketing consultations to over 1,000 entrepreneurs, many of whom are veterans like himself.

I had no clue how to be a business owner.
Fortunately, I found podcasting. I launched the Success Champions podcast and interviewed hundreds of influencers in business, learning how to be a CEO instead of an employee. Not only did I turn Success Champions around and build it into a profitable international business; I also got to create other Champions that are changing the world.
Now I am on a mission. I want to change how the world networks. I'm fixing everything business owners hate about networking and teaching business owners all the secrets to growing a thriving business they love.

More About Michelle:
Michelle possesses over 30 combined years of teaching and counseling experience, and has had the honor of serving those who serve us - in the Military Service Member, Veteran, Emergency Responder, and Health Care Worker communities - for over 13 years.
In working with successful and heartfelt organizations such as Project Sanctuary and TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors), and serving as a Military Family Life Counselor (MFLC), she discovered that truly, the whole family serves, and she is dedicated to creating and offering Operation Equine programs to the entire family, as well as to any caregivers who assist them. Horses became Michelle’s own personal sanctuary at the age of 6, and she learned to express her sense of confidence and freedom through relationship and spending hours and hours watching them, spending time with them at liberty, and learning how to ride. Later, she began sharing those unique equine experiences and knowledge with others, before equine-assisted therapies were “a thing.” She continues to expand her own personal growth through the power of working with horses, and she is passionate about creating opportunities to empower our Warrior, Protector, and Healer communities to join up. She has been an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning (EAP/L) Eagala Model Certified Mental Health professional since 2010, is somatically trained through EGE (Equine Guided Education), is a proud member of the HERD Institute, has studied with EquuSoma and EponaQuest, and is open to any modalities that truly honor the human-horse connection. Michelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor and educator who is committed to an inclusive Warrior Spirit: in her life, as well as in her organization. The values of integrity, courage, honor, service before self, and loyalty run through her veins, and they are proudly the cornerstones of Operation Equine.

Christopher Rausch has earned a reputation for straight talk, no-bullshit delivery, and a ‘No Excuses’ philosophy and has become a passionate and outspoken advocate for living life and leading a ‘KICKASS’ life. The key differentiator of Rausch’s teachings can be articulated in his ‘no excuses’ positioning. The average human being sells out to ‘excuses’ as the reason for not experiencing the change that they advocate. When an individual or organization is undergoing any form of ‘transformative change’, excuses become the acceptable norm. Given Rausch’s life experience of pure ‘survival,’ he did not have the luxury of ‘excuses’ which without a doubt has him the most unparalleled teacher of our time in what it means to live and lead an ‘unstoppable’ existence.

CEO of Foresight CFO, Kirk McLaren joins Camden and Otis to talk financial freedom and share his entrepreneurial journey. Does work really beat worry? Or is that a lie we tell ourselves to keep our nose to the grindstone? How can you fix the blindspots in your business? Would you rather get a bigger slice or grow the entire pie? Kirk, Cam, and Otis dive into all this and much more on this fantastic episode!
More About Kirk:
My journey as an entrepreneur began back in High School. Houston’s scorching summers made lawn care a challenging task for many people who preferred not to do it themselves. So, I teamed up with two partners and we managed a successful lawn care business. By the end of the 3rd year, we served 1,500 customers, had 75 employees, and even owned some land. Apart from a brief period of serving in the Army during the first Gulf War, I’ve spent the last thirty years primarily focused on building businesses from a financial perspective to the CFO level. However, this journey was not without its challenges. I found myself in the “Owner’s Trap”, where the business I created became overwhelming. It led to delayed decision-making, lack of follow-through, and an inability to detach from work even during vacations, causing strain in my marriage. Being spread too thin prevented me from doing what I was truly passionate about and hindered my path to financial freedom. I noticed that other businesses slowed or even stalled when CEOs wore too many hats. That’s when I reimagined the role of CFO as “Growth CFOs” and invented the Financial Freedom System. My vision is to help underserved CEOs of private companies escape the “Owners Trap” by enhancing their effectiveness and ultimately achieving financial freedom. We do this with proven financial Habits that have become a proven financial freedom system. In addition to Foresight CFO, I am a graduate studies lecturer at Georgetown University SCS, a speaker, and a Forbes Author. During my military service, I earned my bachelor’s and then two master’s degrees from Johns Hopkins and Georgetown University after being discharged, including my MBAs—one in international relations and economics; and the other in finance and accounting. In between earning degrees, I spent a year in Venezuela teaching English and learning Spanish. In Venezuela, I met the love of my life, Nayarit. Together, we have two sons, Don Fernando and Luke Leonardo, both Army officers by way of West Point Military Academy.

More About Chris:
For most of the past 30 years, Chris Beall has participated in software startups as a founder or at a very early stage of development.

Toward that end, Chris has been involved with Requisite Technology, GXS, Epiance, Qlip Media, Aptara, Cadis, Sun Microsystems, and Unisyn.

More About Jason:
Jason Kruger is kind of a badass when it comes to accounting. Don’t be fooled by his impressive resume and professional demeanor, he’s shaking up the way business owners think about running their organizations.

Today’s business owners have to make strategic decisions to optimize profitability. The only way to do that is with good data from their accounting teams. Jason’s 20+ years of accounting and business advisory experience puts him in a prime position to help guide business owners to make smarter business decisions. Often, that means choosing outsourced solutions to provide next-level expertise at a fraction of an in-house cost. Founded in 2008, Signature Analytics brings the expertise and benefits of large company financial and accounting tools and processes to small and medium-sized businesses and larger non-profit organizations. Since that time under Kruger’s leadership, Signature Analytics was recognized as an Inc. 5000 company for FIVE straight years for growth and as a “Best Place to Work”. Signature Analytics still has a headquarters in Southern CA while delivering exceptional service to clients across the US. Before founding Signature Analytics, Kruger spent 10 years in public accounting, finishing as a Senior Audit Manager at Deloitte. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance from the University of Arizona. With Kruger’s expertise and Signature Analytics’ commitment to delivering reliable financial insights, businesses and nonprofits can make smart decisions based on real numbers.

Drawn towards the critical intersections of sustainable living, genetically modified organisms, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds, I found my purpose within the realm of environmental sustainability. I was alarmed by the reality of our food systems and living spaces acting as contributors to illness rather than wellness. This insight led me to explore the potential for our everyday environments, from food to housing, to not just sustain, but enhance human well-being. My journey into the world of sustainable architecture, heated floors, and Mike Reynolds' revolutionary 'Earthship Biotecture' sparked an unwavering belief in our ability to design buildings that nourish life.
My passion for sustainability evolved into a focus on regenerative agriculture, particularly drawn to the principles of permaculture. From anaerobic methane digesters to aquaponics, tree bogs, rocket mass heaters, market gardens, and eco-system planning, I saw opportunities to redesign the systems that support our daily lives. In 2009, I swapped my aircraft mechanic hat for the hat of an inventor, focusing my efforts on concept development. This path led to the creation of my own sustainable product development and manufacturing company, Natural Materials Unlimited, in 2015. Located in Poland, we specialize in designing products and accessories using sustainable cellulose sources like linen, hemp, and tree-free paper. My commitment to fostering environmental health through sustainable design drives my work, as I believe passionately in the power of environmentally conscious business practices to heal the planet and improve our lives.

Christopher Rausch has earned a reputation for straight talk, no-bullshit delivery, and a ‘No Excuses’ philosophy and has become a passionate and outspoken advocate for living life and leading a ‘KICKASS’ life. The key differentiator of Rausch’s teachings can be articulated in his ‘no excuses’ positioning. The average human being sells out to ‘excuses’ as the reason for not experiencing the change that they advocate. When an individual or organization is undergoing any form of ‘transformative change’, excuses become the acceptable norm. Given Rausch’s life experience of pure ‘survival’ he did not have the luxury of ‘excuses’ which without a doubt has him be the most unparalleled teachers of our time in what it means to live and lead an ‘unstoppable’ existence.

Zach speaks on the ability to keep your head down and only focus on yourself. Many people tend to look sideways and compare themselves to others they may see on a faster track or more successful and it hinders their own progress.
If you are able to keep your head down and focus on minimal improvement day in and day out, there’s almost a 100% that you will be able to succeed in whatever you are doing. Enjoy this episode!

On this episode we have Ben Godfrey. He joined USA Regenerative Agriculture Alliance and became a director because I am passionate about caring for the land and sharing my experiences to assist others. I want to help others in the ag community think outside the box and become truly sustainable – taking care of the land and their families.
Traditional farming is not working for many families. Between land payments, equipment, chemicals, and the cost of raising a family, farmers are not making a living wage and the land is suffering. Depleting the land will only increase these challenges for future generations. We need a new approach that enables the land to provide for the families that are investing in it – "Regenerative Ag has that Power.”

“A leader is somebody who wants someone else to have success and helps them get there.” – Matt Cubbler
On today's show we have Matt Cubbler. From serving in the U.S. Army, to working as one of Pennsylvania's most renowned police officers, to donating his time speaking to teens and young adults about the importance of leadership in their lives, he has devoted his life to helping others through both his professional and personal life.
To him these things come naturally. Because after growing up as the son of a single mother and the brother of a mentally disabled teen who was often picked on, Cubbler always knew it was his calling to serve others. A month after graduating from high school, Cubbler's brother Andy died in a violent car accident. That moment would end up becoming the single most impactful moment in his life.

Mark Delaney founded The Veteran Professional in 2019. He provides resources for transitioning service members.
Mark joined the Army in 2011. He spent 8 years serving and then decided to get out. It was this transition into the civilian world that laid the groundwork for founding The Veteran Professional. There were an overabundance of resources, all resources focused on just getting a job, and little information about applying to graduate schools. These three frustrations led him to create his website and start his podcast to continue his service to others.

Be A Warrior
Have Fun
**Give Back
They** specifically promote the warrior mentality and ethos - the Alpha lifestyle. This encompasses serving others, living a life of honor, embracing challenge, constantly striving for excellence, staying physically and mentally sharp, connecting with the outdoors and our natural world, and... drinking lots of awesome coffee!
After Carl's retirement, following 21 years of service - with Lori at his side, they sat down together over a cup of coffee, as they had so many times before, and discussed their future.
Together they discussed their passion for great coffee, their strong commitment to a warrior lifestyle, and their unwavering support for the military community. Alpha Coffee was born out of this passion, commitment, and drive to give back. That same strong motivation is visible in every cup of coffee they sell and in the way they conduct business every day.

When Janine Bolon was young she was struck by lightning. This was an experience that (obviously) she lived through, but is the driving factor that inspired her not to waste time by living an unfulfilled life. Janine’s original life goal was to be a scientist and have as many different types of experiences as I could. I love people. I enjoy helping them achieve the dreams they’ve set for themselves. It is great fun to assist them as they move from living paycheck-to-paycheck into an abundant life! I have worked as an analytical biochemist, homeschooled four children, published 8 books (and counting), and was married to my college sweetheart for 30 years. In 2010 I was called into active service by the Thunder Clan. What does this mean? I was pulled into my life’s purpose. That purpose is to teach, write and guide spiritual seekers of all paradigms into a deeper relationship with their Source AND teach folks about the spiritual, emotional, and physical laws that work within financial abundance. Through my writings and online courses, I share how to expand your intuitive gifts as well as help you uncover the blocks you have to improve your financial situation. For the more analytical seeker, I’ve been labeled as a Financial First-Responder. For the spiritually minded I’ve been labeled as a first chakra healer.No matter what label you prefer to call me (just don’t call me “late” for dinner!). I’m here to share with you how to gather Money, live debt-free, and leave the living paycheck-to-paycheck life behind.

About Scott Kinder:
I founded DOL Coaching in a desire to continue my service to others after decades of service in the federal government, military service, and civilian employ. I’m a Special Forces combat veteran (18C MOS), former civil servant and executive with roles across a multitude of industries (from Wall Street to internet startups to consulting). People who know me will tell you I’m passionate about helping those around me grow and prosper. I want to help people become the best version of themselves possible. People will also tell you I’m loyal and have no do what I tell you I’ll do. I’ve proven through my service I’m dedicated to freeing people and companies from that which Oppresses them. This Oppression can come in many forms: poor work processes, lack of team synergy or commitment to a shared vision, stagnation of growth, reliance on debt and more.
In my most recent role prior to DOL Coach, I was fortunate to serve as the Chief Operating Officer within the Institute of Project Management. There I oversaw global business development efforts and built partnerships between the Institute and many charitable organizations around the world. From the fruits of these labors, DOL Coach has become the only Platinum Educational Partner of the Institute in the northern hemisphere. I’m a Certified Project Trainer (CPT) and Certified Project Director (CPD). I also hold a Graduate Diploma in Portfolio Management and a Diploma of Project Management in addition to other industry certifications in Project Management and I have a BS in Finance.
In addition to project management training and certifications, I’m also a certified Ramsey Solutions Master Coach and have helped hundreds of people achieve financial success through my coaching and guidance. My guidance is relevant for all regardless of level of income. I really love helping people get control of their money and take charge of their financial destiny.
I spend many hours a week volunteering and serve in various capacities to help military veterans transition into new careers. I’m exceptionally proud to serve as an Ambassador for the Green Beret Foundation and have done so for over 2 years. I’ve been a guest host on several podcasts and a personal highlight for me is having been on the nationally syndicated Bob and Sheri radio show several times.
Lastly, I’m a licensed soccer coach and I thoroughly enjoy running and “rucking” (carrying a weighted backpack) in addition so spending time with my awesome wife, three amazing kids and my yellow lab (who thinks she is my fourth kid).
I’d love to connect with you. You can email me at scott@dolcoach.com or connect with me on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottckinder/

How can you continue to innovate when you are performing at a high level? The higher the level at which you are performing, the more difficult it becomes to maintain that performance while also innovating and challenging yourself. On this week's episode, USA Rugby 7s star and USA Olympian Ben Pinkleman joins the podcast to discuss high performance and how he continues to challenge himself to keep getting better. In sport, just like in business, it is crucially important to remain analytical; but you have to make sure you are asking the right questions and measuring the right variables. Otherwise, any efforts made towards improvement are destined to fail.

We created this organization because we were patients first and have seen the impact that these treatments have on the lives those who had lost all hope of recovery.
The Invictus Project takes a diagnostics first approach to treating mental health disorders. Any patient that is treated by us or our partner organization’s first receives a QSPECT brain scan, from our partner Cerescan, as well as a full blood panel to evaluate the metabolic processes of both the body and the brain. Following these diagnostic tests patients are assigned a personalized treatment protocol that is designed to address the underlying causes of their symptoms.
After treatment is completed each patient then receives a second battery of testing to evaluate the effectiveness treatment has had on both their body and their brain.

On this week's episode, Cam & Otis discuss Sigmoid curves and performance. We all want to strive for continuous improvement, getting better every day; but unfortunately we do not always have tangible rewards for all of our hard work. How can you keep your team motivated during the learning phase where there are little to no tangible rewards? Then once you battle your way into the growth stage, how do you deal with maturity of performance? And what do you do when your team's performance begins to decline?
On this week's episode of The Cam & Otis Show, we are honored to welcome John Krotec as our guest (see bio below). We explore his transition from the Army to life as an entrepreneur and how his love for country and sense of servitude still drive his pursuits today. In this captivating conversation we answer and discuss the questions and much more: What do you do when you are faced with a situation you don't understand? Why do you need a mentor? What impact do you want to have on your community?
John is an entrepreneur, writer, and army veteran. After college John went to work in
corporate America and realized that despite doing well in the job, he wanted something
more. He joined the army later in life with the purpose of being able to make money to go to
law school. The army taught him discipline and how to value himself. After serving for three
years he left the army and returned to civilian life. It was then that he got reacquainted with
his future wife, helping her raise a family. Together they also successfully ran a business for
23 years leading international guided tours.
In 2016 he founded Greenzone Hero, a for-profit company that honors freedom to improve
business. The membership-based company has over 600 locations including Harley
Davidson, Boar’s Head, John Deere, and Community Aids Network. Greenzone Hero gives
companies tools and strategies to differentiate themselves from their competition. It gives
members the recognition and exposure they deserve for supporting veterans, active duty
military personnel and their families by providing a listing page to help companies promote
their business. They also offer business advice, proven business strategies, digital marketing
tools, search engine optimization, and awards cyber medals. Their podcast, Straight Outta
Combat, diminishes the negative stereotyping of combat veterans. It is also a healing
platform offering combat veterans an opportunity to tell their personal stories. Their Angel
Brigade podcast series honors Gold Star Families and educates what Gold Star means.
Life is incredibly crazy and complicated, and it doesn't magically get simpler when you write a plan. How can you plan around the craziness and assess your options? On part two of our planning series, Cam and Otis dive deeper into planning strategies that you can use to assess your options. Including risk assessment which is an ever important piece of planning. Don't fall into analysis paralysis! Use the information in front of you and take action!
In this episode of The Cam & Otis Show, our discussion centers around Ernest Shackleton and his ambitious expedition turned harrowing tale of survival as he and his team attempted to be the first to trek across Antarctica. This inspiring story is full of leadership lessons that can be applied to team building, coaching, and management. Would you have what it takes to hand pick a team for this kind of treacherous journey?
Now that you have established where goals come from, what should you do with these goals? You need to formulate related goals and refine them into a plan, whether you are planning to loose 10 pounds, start a business, or coach a team to a state championship. Plans provide a clear framework for a path forward and defines the tasks needed to accomplish goals. There are countless advantages to planning.
Pete Turner is a former Army combat spy with over 1,000 missions in conflict zones. His daily tasks required him to leave the safety of the American camps and find the information/secrets that enabled commanders to win. Ultimately, Pete succeeded because he learned to earn the trust of the most dangerous and evil people in the region. Now that he’s home, Pete’s work is focused on professional podcast production. His show, The Break It Down Show, is the leader among veteran produced podcasts. Pete’s list of guests is on par with the absolute top of the podcast industry. He’s our kind of guy. Join Cam and Otis as we discuss the unique leadership perspective that Pete brings to the table, and how he has been able to apply his experience in the Army to the professional world.

No matter what you want to accomplish in your life it is important to set goals for yourself, but how can you come up with these goals? Without a clear set of goals you may find yourself or your team becomes stagnant, goals are essential to forward movement in any area of life. Cam & Otis talk about how to identify your own goals and how to make sure that your goal setting is effective and successful.
Alright, day Today, on our show this Cameron Otis show today we're going to start with or talk about goals where the goals come from, why are goals important? I mean, you hear about it all the time. You know, all the self help books, all the leadership things all the time team building stuff to include my stuff. Talk about goals. So what are the goals come from gamma, any thoughts on that get us kicked off.
So I think it's important to note that there's a lot of different types of goals. You can think about your goals for the day, your goals for life, your goals for business, you can apply these type of ideas to just about anything. But it's important to define what type of goals you're talking about, as far as being successful, and making sure that you have those goals well defined, so that you can really be successful.
It's true, I agree with you, we can say something else on it.
Nope. I was gonna say, so why does everyone say we have to have goals?
Yeah, well, I'll tell you why. If you don't have goals, then how do you know where you're going? Right? I mean, really, the reason the reason goals are important is it helps you
go do what you want to do.
Now, and and i think back to, you know, my years in the Army, and, you know, the army, we, the army has a great system for evaluations and setting goals and things like that, but you know, it, it's not used, I'd say, it's well, less than 50%. From my experience, you know, my 25 years, and all the organizations and units that I was in, the system wasn't used as it was fully intended. And what what that what I'm talking about is annual evaluations. And I know, there's a lot of corporations out there that do annual evaluations also. And from people I've known, and I've been in, I've worked for a couple of them. And people I've known in those organizations, it's a very similar process, or similar attitude towards it. As the arm, you know, my experience in the army, which is, well, we'll get to that, because it's really not important, you know, to set my goals or that my, you know, talk with my subordinate to help them set goals. And what that what that drives you to is a number of things, and I won't get into the evaluation and development thing, but it drives you into an attitude of
an idea of,
well, I just show up at work and whatever pops up is what I do. And, you know, if you go through life like that, even just looking back at days and weeks, let alone years and decades. You know, you find out at some point, you look back, and it's like, well, what the hell did I do? You know, did I did I really accomplish anything? No, I, I can think back to, you know, my, my evaluations, and you know, going in with my commanders, and sitting down and before I go in, to do the, you know, the sit down, and he tells me what he's going to write and that sort of stuff, I'd have to complete the support form, and write down what I do did in the last year. And you know, when when all you do every day, is pretty much react, knowing what you accomplished over time over that time period. You don't know because it's, it just doesn't. Because you just react. I mean, I can think of many, many times
when I was working in the corporate world,
where man at the end of the day, when I when I closed up shop, whatever time it was, I was smoked. I was just done. But I had no idea what the hell I did that day. I couldn't tell you if I accomplished anything that I had planned to accomplish, or, or what. So, you know, I over the last few years, I've become a firm b
**From 25 years serving in the Army, to coaching high school rugby, to developing business leaders to perform at their highest level; Otis will pull from years of leadership experience to explain how various types of leadership relate to one another. This insight into the art of leadership synergizes well with the behavioral science approach that Cam takes on coaching and management. Somewhere between the art and the science lie the tools that you should be using to lead, whether it is on the rugby field or in the board room. Learn what principles make a good leader and how to build on those effectively.
And today we're going to we're going to talk to you a little bit about how business and sports relate now, and I think this is important, because now we're both sports fans, lot of America loves sports, and ain't even the world when you step it out, you know, just outside of our our culture, really loves sports. And sports is a great analogy for life. You know, one of my favorite philosophers of all time is Yogi Berra,
you know, and
so many times in his books and his talks, he talks about how life reflects baseball. And you know, that's all tongue in cheek with a yogi. But it's great stuff. And there's great analysis there in a and, you know, even even this morning, just talking with one of my coaching clients, about performance, and now we look at high level athletes, but us in the business world, also have to perform and what we can do to increase our performance and how we can, how we can be a better performer, better sales man, better leader, and have a better vision for what we're trying to do and what we're trying to be successful at.
I think that he talked about sports reflecting life, there's no more pure form of emotion out there, then sports that I've ever seen. The story I heard a while back, they're talking about being in a locker room after a big game. Where else can you go and you see 35 grown men in tears hugging each other? And no shame or anything about that. Where else is that culturally Okay, except for in the football locker room after a game or after the match. And that that pure emotional, that pure, you know, the meritocracy of it of you know, you did everything you can, it's all about you working hard and getting that pure form of competition. And, you know, life isn't always as pure like that. But that's why we like sports, because it takes something a lot Messier, and makes it more pure, add some more rules to it.
Oh, that's that's very, very true. And it's a it's a unique aspect of sports. Because now, and in the real world in business, and I hate saying real world, people used to say that to me in the military. And if this was real, we do it this way. But that's no, no, that's BS. If it was really you do it the right way, every time, right? Yes, sir. Train, we're going to train for how we're going to do this all the time, and not real world stuff, if you saw my fingers doing the air quotes. But when we do these things, when we when we look at where we're going to go, and how we're going to grow our business, it's a day in and day out. So the game, and its really follows that similarity. And I'll come back to the team aspect I was talking about just a minute ago, but it follows that similarity of, of how you prepare each and every day, on in sports, on the practice field, in business, in the office, and in your meetings and things like that, for that opportunity. When that opportunity arises, are you going to be ready. And sports is very finite, right? sports, we have that opportunity. We know our game schedule, we know when the tournament's coming around, and we can put those marks on our wall and our calendar and move forward that way. But in business, the the win isn't as as clear, there's no one, one or zero, there's no win or loss on anything in the business world, it continues on.
I think I have a great example of that to make it pretty personal**
